I dunno about c2=8. I actually rather use the base item cost in some sort of multiple. It would make sense to have a higher goldcost since you are paying a mage for "industrial work". I don't know if a enchanted broadsword would be harder to manufacture in raw materials though. When you craft the items for a commander the only limit you have is the number of gems and wizards after all. This means you could churn out 20 fireswords all at once, even in a 5 rerource wasteland, if you happen to have 1000 firegems lying around.

But then again it should reflect the rarity of the gems used, since one is using "second grade" gems that are not part of the gods stockpile.
